2006-10-02[PATCH] const struct tty_operationsJeff Dike
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to be fixed. This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra warnings. 53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

2006-10-02[PATCH] vt: Make vt_pid a struct pid (making it pid wrap around safe).Eric W. Biederman
I took a good hard look at the locking and it appears the locking on vt_pid is the console semaphore. Every modified path is called under the console semaphore except reset_vc when it is called from fn_SAK or do_SAK both of which appear to be in interrupt context. In addition I need to be careful because in the presence of an oops the console_sem may be arbitrarily dropped. Which leads me to conclude the current locking is inadequate for my needs. Given the weird cases we could hit because of oops printing instead of introducing an extra spin lock to protect the data and keep the pid to signal and the signal to send in sync, I have opted to use xchg on just the struct pid * pointer instead. Due to console_sem we will stay in sync between vt_pid and vt_mode except for a small window during a SAK, or oops handling. SAK handling should kill any user space process that care, and oops handling we are broken anyway. Besides the worst that can happen is that I try to send the wrong signal. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-02[PATCH] vt: rework the console spawning variablesEric W. Biederman
This is such a rare path it took me a while to figure out how to test this after soring out the locking. This patch does several things. - The variables used are moved into a structure and declared in vt_kern.h - A spinlock is added so we don't have SMP races updating the values. - Instead of raw pid_t value a struct_pid is used to guard against pid wrap around issues, if the daemon to spawn a new console dies.

2006-10-01[PATCH] Streamline generic_file_* interfaces and filemap cleanupsBadari Pulavarty
This patch cleans up generic_file_*_read/write() interfaces. Christoph Hellwig gave me the idea for this clean ups. In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use do_sync_read/ do_sync_write() as their .read/.write methods. This allows us to cleanup all variants of generic_file_* routines. Final available interfaces: generic_file_aio_read() - read handler generic_file_aio_write() - write handler generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - no lock write handler __generic_file_aio_write_nolock() - internal worker routine Signed-off-by: Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-09-30[PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]David Howells
Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require the block layer to be present. This patch does the following: (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev support. (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls an item that uses the block layer. This includes: (*) Block I/O tracing. (*) Disk partition code. (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS. (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities - such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this. (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM drivers. (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL. (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book. (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is, however, still used in places, and so is still available. (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and parts of linux/fs.h. (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK is not enabled. (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set: (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening). (*) Makes some /proc changes: (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs. (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified. (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2. (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so). (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

2006-09-29[PATCH] Fix locking for tty drivers when doing urgent charactersAlan Cox
If you send a priority character (as is done for flow control) then the tty driver can either have its own method for "jumping the queue" or the characrer can be queued normally. In the latter case we call the write method but without the atomic_write_lock taken elsewhere. Make this consistent. Note that the send_xchar method if implemented remains outside of the lock as it can jump ahead of a current write so must not be locked out by it.

Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-09-29[PATCH] tty locking on resizeAlan Cox
The current kernel serializes console resizes but does not serialize the resize against the tty structure updates. This means that while two parallel resizes cannot mess up the console you can get incorrect results reported. Secondly while doing this I added vc_lock_resize() to lock and resize the console. This leaves all knowledge of the console_sem in the vt/console driver and kicks it out of the tty layer, which is good Thirdly while doing this I decided I couldn't stand "disallocate" any longer so I switched it to "deallocate".

2006-09-29[PATCH] console utf-8 mode fixesAdam Tlalka
Fix utf-8 mode so alternate charset modes always work according to control sequences interpreted in do_con_trol function preserving backward US-ASCII and VT100 semigraphics compatibility. Malformed utf-8 sequences are represented as sequences of replacement glyphs,original codes or '?' as a last resort. unicode-xterm, gnome-terminal, kconsole and other terminal emulators in utf-8 mode respect acsc, enacs, rmacs sequences. Also I found that some important system programs (from Debian distro) uses acsc in utf-8 mode - dselect, aptitude, w3m for example.

2006-09-29[PATCH] fix Intel RNG detectionJan Beulich
Previously, since determination whether there was an Intel random number generator was based on a single bit, on systems with a matching bridge device but without a firmware hub, there was a 50% chance that the code would incorrectly decide that the system had an RNG. This patch adds detection of the firmware hub to better qualify the existence of an RNG. There is one issue with the patch: I was unable to determine the LPC equivalent for the PCI bridge 8086:2430 (since the old code didn't care about which of the many devices provided by the ICH/ESB it was chose to use the PCI bridge device, but the FWH settings live in the LPC device, so the device list needed to be changed).
